Chapter 12: Xia Niang (II)
Jiang Shang looked up, and the one at the door was indeed a familiar shadow.
The girl walked as if she were floating and silent, and if it weren't for the red brass bell hanging on her right foot, which couldn't help but make a sound, with the image of her long hair covering her face and white clothes and bare feet, it would make people feel more like a ghost than a person.
But Jiang Shang smiled and nodded, this one, who has been seeing him every day recently, can be regarded as an old opponent who has stayed up late to practice.
The girl nodded slightly, much better than the complete ignorance at first, and then the girl walked straight to the side and began her own dance-like practice.
The slender figure full of vitality, as if not constrained by gravity, turned into a phantom that appeared from time to time, and the long hair and skirt corners were scattered under the weak but still dim lamp in the afternoon, indescribably graceful and charming.
The girl's lotus feet were light, stepping on the flat ground like the surface of the water, moving the lotus steps lightly, without any effort, and her feet stepped on strange steps and strange rhythms, turning into a phantom.
Obviously, he was here a moment ago, but he didn't know where to appear next time like a fairy, walking like a light cloud and turning like a storm.
And Jiang Shang knows that if you really think she is performing a dance, then death is not far away.
And the source of his strong doubts about his melee strength is the one in front of him.
Beneath the light romance dance of the flowing clothes and wide sleeves is a deadly threat, and under the slender white sleeves, the black phantom that flashes from time to time like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter is a long whip with a strong cold soul power.
On the ground that was hit, a thin piece of ice instantly appeared, which was enough to show the vicious ice magic attached to it, and the place where the jade foot stepped was full of deep white marks.
A change system that is good at ice transformation? A mastery system that is good at using weapons? Jiang Shang can't confirm the matter yet, but it seems that the cultivation in both aspects is not low.
With a wave of his hand, the long whip swept through the mechanism, and a few more self-moving balls appeared in the room, flying back and forth at an extremely fast speed. It was an automatic flying target with high speed and irregular motion.
This kind of maximum speed can reach one-tenth of the speed of sound speed of the moving target, has far exceeded the ability of ordinary people's visual supplement, in Penglai, often only open the lowest gear, for the Suzaku position, Qinglong position shooters to estimate the amount of advance training.
And Gui Xia Niang not only drove to the highest speed, but as if she didn't use her eyes to catch the target at all, she used the black whip in her hand to attack continuously, one hit at a time.
Unlike Jiang Shang at the end of the crane, Gui Xia Niang, the "Blind Dancing Queen", is one of the few strong people with a title in the second grade, in the first grade. He became famous for his excellent skills and organized his own warband.
Yes, blind, as an eyeless clan, Gui Xia Niang was born without shili.
The excessively long bangs are mainly to cover the blind eyes that are godless and photophobic.
Although the eyeless people still have eyes, they are actually born with amblyopia and photophobia, which does not play a role.
But it seems that the creator has compensated for it, and the eyeless are at least five times more capable of hearing than ordinary people. There is also an extremely powerful bioradar that can sense things around you through vibrations and sound waves.
The innate bioradar can make its body surface sense vibration, and minors can passively perceive it. Adult eyeless people can constantly perceive their surroundings like sonar through their own steps, and then re-establish a rudimentary spatial model in their brains.
This innate ability to be quite similar to bats in nature, even. Some people jokingly refer to the Eyeless as the Batmen.
In addition, as the new era progresses, a series of soul skills in terms of contact sensing have been developed, which are enough for the Eyeless to pass through contact. Sensing the presence of the other person in a three-dimensional space is enough to cope with it in daily life.
Most of the Eyeless Clans are still weak, but there are also some strong clansmen who choose to step into the realm of the Night's Watch.
Their innate abilities, after being further strengthened, are extremely useful in long-range reconnaissance.
Ignoring cover, it is extremely sensitive, and it can be woken up at any time in its sleep, and it can even perceive herds and lurkers several kilometers away, and as a result, it is very haode "Eagle Eye".
Launching ultra-long-range attacks from outside the field of vision, and incrediblely hurting people through walls from the other side of the building, ninety percent of the eyeless people have chosen the archer profession.
That's because of their natural advantage at long range, but also because of the melee constraints of amblyopia on melee combat ability.
But some people are always biased towards Hushanxing, and they never bow down to their natural defects.
The Gui family is such a family, Gui Lan, the great swordsman of the Eyeless Clan, his son's eldest son Gui Chunyan is a sword saint, and the eldest daughter Gui Xia Niang is a weapon master, all of whom are close combat.
The Eyeless Clan is barefoot, which is to let it feel the vibration around it through the ground, while the children of the Gui family will bring a special small bell and use soul power to trigger it and actively emit sound waves to scan the surrounding environment.
The theory is simple to say, but it is seen as an impossible reality.
The weight of the people on the floor, how much pressure will be exerted on the ground, how far away from oneself, and the number of people, the amount of calculation will be doubled geometrically, which is undoubtedly equivalent to using two-dimensional radar to build a three-dimensional space model, just counting these is enough to overload the most advanced computers of the old era.
And if it is a target moving at high speed, the amount of calculation is even greater, and if you are distracted in battle, you are looking for death.
But to everyone's surprise, the children of the Gui family, who have been inherited for a hundred years, did it with a firm will, perhaps, there is still too much potential for the human brain to be tapped, perhaps, the willpower of the Eyeless Clan is too incredible.
Moreover, they passed down their own experience and self-created soul skills, and gradually perfected them, but now the Gui family has become a famous family among the night watchmen.
Slowly, not only can they read a lot from the ringtone, but they can also read countless information from the intersection of blades, breathing rate, and wind movements, and let the opponent take the initiative to hit their own blades.
These gradually formed the Gui family's unique mastery, battlefield mind reading.
The gorgeous dancers of the battlefield, the mind-readers between the blades, the incredible clan, the king of the eyeless clan, too much praise has fallen on them, but in fact, this family is always in a state of low population and interruption at any time.
The battlefield kills, and immature battlefield dancers are no exception... And the generation of the Gui family, even if it is a separate family of Gui Chunyan and Gui Xianiang, there are less than thirty people.
And Xia Guiniang, the new favorite of this clan, although her qualifications are still shallow, her in Penglai College, where the elite gathers, is also a potential stock with a reputation.
Today's Gui Xia Niang is not only able to use mind reading as if it were instinctive. Move freely like an ordinary person, and take advantage of your disadvantage, and develop your own unique dance-like fighting style, which is extremely weird and difficult to prevent.
And he chose to practice late at night, in addition to avoiding the impact of too much noise on his ability, but also to avoid the eyes of everyone.
The dance of "Blind Dancer" has many potential diehards, and if it is practiced during the day, the warm gaze of the audience alone can make Gui Xianiang, who has sensitive facial features, extremely uncomfortable.
They. Sensitive to sight and lies, in the past, even if someone pretended to be normal, but from the rapid heartbeat and raised body temperature, you can still read the deliberate taste.
But what made Gui Xianiang unbelievable was that after saying hello every night, Jiang Shang buried himself in exercising his magical powers, as if the beauty in front of him was just air.
For the next few hours, both sides practiced their own work. It seems that parallel lines do not interfere with each other, perhaps, this is the reason why Gui Xia Niang, who likes to be still, can tolerate this silent audience.
Finally, it's three o'clock in the morning. The two of them left the ashram one after the other.
The mind reader between the blades, the little princess of the Gui family, in her eyes, language is superfluous. The weak latter is mostly due to laziness and stupidity, and there is no need to sympathize, but although the time is short. She was a little more curious about this weak man.
This man was obviously an ordinary person not long ago, although he didn't know that he would be able to enter Penglai, but even if he worked so hard, the day he left Penglai, I am afraid it would not be too far.
"Are you sure? After two months of entrance exams, too poor results will be put on the medal of shame. β
Although he didn't look back, there was a little worry in his silver bell-like voice.
"Freshmen will be admitted once, and they will be taken once in the midterm, and they will be expelled from school if they are awarded the Order of Shame twice in a row."
People who know Gui Xianiang would never have thought that she, who talks to people coldly, still has the initiative to care about others.
This girl took the initiative to speak for the first time in half a month, but Jiang Shang could only smile wryly and shake his head, this, he really didn't have any confidence.
The badge of shame is a mechanism used by the school to encourage backwards, if the grades are too poor, you must wear one on the chest, and you are not allowed to take it off, reminding you that you have stepped on the red line and must work hard to get out of the predicament.
If he dies and does not repent, he will drop out of school directly twice in a row, but in Penglai, where the worst student is a qualified night watchman, Jiang Shang is really not sure that he will reach the average of the first grade in four or five months.
"I'm not sure, my foundation is too bad, everything has to start from scratch, work harder, there should be a breakthrough."
"Is it possible? Instead of winning? β
"I'm hoping to win, but I'm too bad right now, so let's push to the limit of my body. If you're still not qualified, I don't have much to say. β
Gui Xianiang became more and more curious, in her eyes, a creature like a man, in front of a woman, would rather slap a swollen face and become fat, rather than reveal his own shortcomings.
She expected that this man would lie to cover up his shortcomings, and even, she had prepared harsh words to expose the shortcomings of the other party's strength, but she didn't expect the other party to be so honest.
Moreover, for actually being in front of himself, he said that he would work hard to the limit of his body.
"We are inherently deficient, so we have to work hard for everyone else, at least, to the limits of our talents and bodies."
This is my father's teaching, and Gui Xia Niang has always done this, and has also said things like "I appreciate people who work hard".
Before, many men would also take the initiative to show their diligence and self-motivation, but in Xia Niang's eyes, their so-called diligence and persistence were far inferior to themselves.
But from the past half a month of getting along, the so-called hard work in the mouth of this strange man is to the extreme, instinctively, Xia Guiniang feels that it is probably a level of effort that she can't reach.
"There is no change in heartbeat or body temperature, and what he says about 'working hard to the limits of your body' is something that I take for granted and must do."
Suddenly, Gui Xia Niang stopped and looked back.
"Go for it, I'll wait and see, and I hope to see you again next year."
"Well, of course, I'm going to participate in the old and new student exchange competition. By the way, do you have a warband? We're just short of people. β
Facing the invitation, Gui Xia Niang covered her mouth and chuckled.
"It's so cunning, the body temperature and heartbeat haven't changed, and the tone and mood like saying, 'The weather is so nice today', right? Invitations need to be sincere. β
Jiang Shang also smiled.
"Sincerity is full, although our war group is not many people now, but the potential is endless, you can join first, and if it is not suitable, you are free to quit."
"It's a pity that I have a warband."
"That's a pity."
"The heartbeat has not changed at all, which is really low."
"No, it's just as expected, a good fighter like you, and the ability to obviously prepare for the team, the possibility of having a warband, at least more than ninety percent."
"Can you see that?"
"Of course, when you choose the whip as your main weapon, you should consider its advantages in containment......"
In the melodious night breeze, the sound of laughter spreads far and wide.
The fiancΓ©s, who don't know each other's names, have a good conversation in the first conversation.
In the past, the cold beauty who exposed the other party's lies with a poisonous tongue met a learned "stupid" who only told the truth, and she was never more happy to talk and laugh.
And for Jiang Shang, the night is not over. (To be continued......)
